Question

Which of the following describes the growth rate of the exponential function in the graph below?

Answer 1

The common form of exponential function is y = xᵃ where x is the variable and a is raised to a specific number. From this, the graph would on the value of a. An example would be when there are 70000 bacteria present in a culture and reduced by half every four hours, the number of bacteria will decrease. The bacteria will experience an exponential decay because it decreases its number at a constant decay.
